Chapter 74 Dad! Save the cub!
If Ye Yunian could speak, he would definitely shout loudly at this moment: "Wait for me!"
After all, this optic disc snake is not eaten by Ye Yunian alone. The reason why he brought this optic disc snake back is not to share it with his biological father Leopard. Why
is the biological father Leopard running so fast!
Fortunately, the biological father Leopard and Ye Yunian can't speak, otherwise the father and son Leopard would not continue running at this time, but stop and start quarreling.
That's a flat-headed brother!
Lions will not provoke it if there is nothing to do. Why do you want to steal its food?
Fortunately, the father and son ran very fast, so there was no conflict between the father and son.
After a while, the biological father Leopard found a tree first.
After two rubs, the father leopard climbed up the tree first.
Ye Yunian followed closely behind, and the three of them climbed up the tree in
no time. Although the flat-headed brother is reckless, it has not yet evolved the ability to climb trees.
Looking at the two leopards lying on the branches, although it is still very angry, it can't do anything at this time and can only rage helplessly under the tree.
And Ye Yunian is really tired at this moment.
After climbing up the tree, he threw the cobra in his mouth onto the branch, and then lay on the branch gasping heavily.
Tired.
Really tired!
Why is the African savannah so hot? After running for a short while, Ye Yunian was so tired that he was panting.
Looking at the father leopard, he was also suffocated by the heat.
With his mouth open and tongue sticking out, he gasped violently, and did not forget to look down at his cub.
Although the cub is very annoying, it is indeed cute.
He must be exhausted at this moment. Lying on the branch to catch his breath was not enough. He even turned over and exposed his soft belly.
His belly bulged with his breathing.
Yeah.
Okay.
The father leopard forgave his cub.
Looking at the flathead brother under the tree.
Facing two leopards, it naturally couldn't get any advantage.
But after all, it had bitten the cobra to death with great difficulty. How could it be willing to let it go easily?
Ye Yunian had rested enough. He looked down and found that the honey badger was still under the tree.
Hmm.
So persistent.
Ye Yunian left his father Leopard's territory today, naturally to look for Song Yi.
But he walked around outside the territory for a long time and didn't smell any similar smell.
Just when Ye Yunian was about to go home, he smelled a faint smell of blood.
The smell was very fresh and a little bit pleasant.
Ye Yunian went in the direction of the smell without hesitation.
Not long after walking, Ye Yunian saw a cobra on the low grass not far away.
Ye Yunian swears!
When he saw the cobra, he really didn't see the honey badger!
If he knew that this was the food of the honey badger, although Ye Yunian was greedy, he would definitely not just run away with the cobra in his mouth...
Well, at least he would definitely leave some for the honey badger, ahem.
Anyway, when Ye Yunian picked up the cobra and was about to leave, he suddenly saw the honey badger jumping out of the cave.
It was so fast that it scared the leopard.
So Ye Yunian ran without thinking.
Who would have thought that the honey badger would chase him all the way so persistently.
Ye Yunian sighed in his heart.
Okay.
After all, I took the honey badger's food, and I feel embarrassed.
Then I'll give you half.
So.
The father leopard watched his cub suddenly stand up, walk to the side of the cobra, first bite off the snake's head and throw it away.
With another bite, a two-meter-long cobra was bitten into two pieces.
Looking closely, the lengths of the two pieces of cobra were surprisingly close.
The cub hesitated for a long time while holding the two pieces of cobra in its mouth, and finally threw the tail part towards the flat-headed brother.
Huh???
The father leopard widened his eyes, a little unbelievable.
How could he lose half of the cobra that he had finally snatched?
The flat-headed brother obviously did not expect that food would actually fall from the sky, and ran towards the half of the cobra in disbelief.
He grabbed it in one bite, and without giving the two leopards on the tree time to react, he ran away with the cobra in his mouth.
The father leopard had already stood up, but seeing that the flat-headed brother had already run far away, he gave up the idea of chasing.
But the father leopard was still puzzled.
The food is already in his mouth, why throw half of it away?
"Awoo?"
The father leopard couldn't help but roared at his cub to ask.
Ye Yunian thought that the father leopard was tired, and quickly divided his remaining cobra into two halves.
"Meow~"
Ye Yunian's voice was soft.
Translated: For you.
Spicy strips are delicious!
When Ye Yunian was still a giant panda, Song Yi often caught spicy strips for Ye Yunian to eat.
But later when he was a wolf, I don't know if it was because the place where they lived was too cold, so they didn't see spicy strips much, so Ye Yunian hasn't eaten spicy strips for a long time.
And more importantly, cobra!
Ye Yunian has never eaten cobra!
Ye Yunian excitedly threw half of the snake meat to Leopard Daddy, and then took a big bite.
Delicious!
Awooo awooo meow—
it’s really delicious!
The snake meat is very fresh, tender, and has a light juice.
The bones are not hard, and they feel more like brittle bones when bitten, making a crunching sound.
Ye Yunian ate the whole piece of snake meat in two or three bites.
After eating, he licked his lips with a little dissatisfaction. He
looked up at Leopard Daddy, and asked with a puzzled look: Don’t you want to eat it?
Leopard Daddy:...
Oh.
Forget it.
He is his own cub.
Besides, Leopard Daddy has always felt that he is very good, and he doesn’t think he can’t afford to raise a cub.
It’s just half a snake meat, so just give it.
Besides, since the cub took the initiative to share this half of the snake meat with me, I won’t be polite.
So the Daddy Leopard stood up, walked to the front of the snake meat, and swallowed the snake meat into his mouth.
Crunch, crunch— the
Daddy Leopard slightly opened his eyes.
This snake meat is really delicious!
Ye Yunian saw that the Daddy Leopard’s eyes widened slightly, and he was very satisfied with his reaction.
Delicious, right!
Hehe.
Ye Yunian was a little happy.
He raised his head with a little pride, and my favorite thing to eat is spicy strips.
However.
It seems that there are few spicy strips on the African savannah that are not poisonous.
Next time I want to eat it, I guess I can only steal the food of the honey badger.
Although it is very immoral, it is not impossible.
Ye Yunian thought in his heart.
The father leopard didn't know what his cub was thinking, but it must be said that the father and son's ideas were surprisingly consistent at this time.
Snake meat is delicious, but it is too risky to catch snake meat by yourself.
Next time if the cub wants to eat it, then I will go and grab the flat-headed brother's.
But the poor flat-headed brothers on the grassland don't know that they have been targeted by two leopards.
After the two leopards finished eating the snake meat, they lay down on the branches very satisfied.
The sun was scorching at noon, and Ye Yuanian had been running all morning and was really tired.
After eating the snake meat, he simply licked his fur and prepared to rest.
I went to the north today and didn't find the same kind of breath, so I'll go to the south tomorrow.
Leopards don't need to eat every day.
Ye Yunian and his father leopard had just finished eating antelope meat yesterday, and today they had a few bites of spicy strips as a snack. Although there was not much meat, neither leopard was hungry at this time.
No one would be willing to go out hunting under the scorching sun.
And other herbivores would rather stay in the shade at this time.
Until the sun sets again and night falls, most animals on the grassland begin to become active again.
It was at this time that the father leopard stood up from the branch.
If it were in the past, he would definitely sleep on the tree for another day after eating yesterday and go out to hunt tomorrow.
But now is different from the past, and now there is a hungry little leopard next to him.
In the eyes of the father leopard, the reason why Ye Yunian walked out of his territory during the day was because the cub was hungry.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be chased so far by a flat-headed tiger just for a spicy strip.
Although spicy strips are indeed delicious.
It's a good opportunity to teach the cubs how to hunt.
The cub is only nine months old, but the father leopard also learned hunting from his mother when he was eight or nine months old.
So after getting down from the tree, the father leopard did not leave immediately, but waited for Ye Yunian to follow him down.
Ye Yunian didn't know where the father leopard was going to take him, but out of trust in the father leopard, he didn't ask.
Anyway, Ye Yunian had slept enough at this time, and he was a little thirsty, so he could go to the water to drink some water.
Ye Yunian got down from the tree and followed the father leopard forward.
After walking for a while, Ye Yunian saw a group of African buffaloes grazing in front of a river not far away.
Ye Yunian roughly understood what Daddy Leopard wanted to do, and looked at Daddy Leopard with a little surprise.
Didn’t we just eat yesterday? How extravagant!
To hunt after only one day.
Ye Yunian suddenly felt a little excited and excited.
It seems that I did not follow the wrong leopard!
Daddy Leopard is really an excellent leopard!
Ye Yunian was happy.
Ye Yunian was excited.
Ye Yunian began to observe Daddy Leopard hunting carefully.
Yes.
As a diligent and studious leopard.
Ye Yunian also felt that this was a good learning opportunity.
Although Ye Yunian had rich hunting experience, after the experience of wandering some time ago, Ye Yunian soon discovered that his previous hunting method did not seem to be suitable for the grassland.
In addition, his current body is too small compared to the absolute prey, which makes it more difficult for him to hunt.
What Ye Yunian and the leopard never expected was that not long after they squatted here, there was a sudden commotion at the edge of the leopard's territory.
Ye Yunian glanced at the leopard, raised his head and sniffed the air. Soon, Ye Yunian identified their identity - it was a group of hyenas.
Why are these hateful grassland robbers here again? !
Ye Yunian suddenly felt irritated.
The father leopard also felt unhappy.
Most animals avoid hyenas.
Naturally, they don't want hyenas to guard them when hunting.
Otherwise, they will really become a working leopard.
Obviously, the father leopard had the same idea as Ye Yunian.
So the father and son stood up in unusual tacit understanding.
The father leopard planned to go back to sleep.
Ye Yunian was going to drink some water by the water and then go to sleep.
At this time, the two leopards stopped at the same time.
Ye Yunian blinked.
He smelled blood and heard the cheers of the hyenas.
Obviously, some other creatures must have succeeded in hunting, and the prey was quickly taken by the hyenas.
The Daddy Leopard sniffed the air, called out to Ye Yunian, and signaled him to leave.
They didn't need to get involved in the hyenas' robbery of other animals.
However, they could take this opportunity to go to other places in the territory to see if they could avoid being caught by the hyenas...
huh?
Before the Daddy Leopard could finish his thoughts, he turned around and saw Ye Yunian suddenly changed direction. He was actually heading straight towards the direction of the hyenas? !
"Ah--"
The Daddy Leopard roared and called his cubs.
Ye Yunian turned around and also called out to the Daddy Leopard, but his tone was full of excitement and happiness, as if to say: Let's go over and see what's going on!
Let's take a look, let's take a look!
The Daddy Leopard was speechless.
What's so good about this?
Living next door to the Daddy Leopard, the closest to him is the lion group.
The smell was too far away, and the father leopard couldn't tell what animal was emitting the smell, but his intuition told him that it was best not to join in the fun.
But looking at the cub in front of him...
the father leopard was a little helpless.
Why is the cub so spoiled!
He didn't move, but he lay down at his feet!
Not only did he scratch him with his claws, but he also used his paw pads to step on him to milk!!!
Father leopard:...
Who can bear this?
Anyway, the father leopard can't bear it.
Not only can he not bear it, he couldn't help but lower his head and licked his cub on the forehead.
So cute.
All right.
Then take the cub over to have a look.
Anyway, as long as they don't leave the territory, this matter basically won't involve them.
As for the evil hyenas.
Hyenas can't climb trees.
What's there to be afraid of?
So the father leopard shook his big tail and walked forward first.
Seeing this, Ye Yunian quickly turned over.
Great!
Follow my father to watch the excitement!
As the two leopards got closer and closer to the edge of the territory, the two leopards soon figured out who the robbed animals were -
they were not just one, but a group of African wild dogs.
African wild dogs, like hyenas, are social animals.
It's just that African wild dogs are not as big as hyenas. Generally speaking, when facing a group of African wild dogs of the same number, most of the time, hyenas are unwilling to make any more efforts.
But if the hyenas find that the opponent's number is far less than their own, they will attack in groups.
No matter what, just rob and run.
In this robbery, the number of African wild dogs was smaller than that of hyenas.
So the antelope that the African wild dogs had just caught became the prey of the hyenas in the blink of an eye.
But the African wild dogs would not give up their prey so easily, even though each hyena looked stronger than them and their number was slightly larger than their group.
But they were not invincible.
African wild dogs were small in size and slightly more flexible than hyenas.
The hyenas wanted to retreat after grabbing the food, but from time to time African wild dogs would suddenly jump out from other places and bite them, or suddenly rush towards the hyenas holding the prey.
As a result, the hyenas' retreat was forced to stop again and again.
There was no other way, the hyena queen could only give an order and simply attack in groups.
Isn't it just a fight?
Who are these grassland anal digging masters afraid of?
When Ye Yunian and Leopard rushed over, they saw such a thrilling and exciting scene.
Ye Yunian's eyes widened. It was too intense at this time of night!
Leopard motioned Ye Yunian to lie down in the grass.
They came to watch the excitement, not to be discovered and chased by them.
Ye Yunian knew it.
One of the elements of watching the excitement is not to affect yourself.
So he lay down obediently, and with the cover of tall grass, they blended into the environment perfectly.
But Ye Yunian and Leopard didn't expect that the fight between the hyenas and wild dogs would attract a photographer.
After a while, Ye Yunian heard the sound of cars.
The next moment, a bunch of headlights suddenly lit up.
Three photographers hurriedly got out of the car carrying their camera equipment and started filming the two sides fighting fiercely.
One photographer even put his camera on the face of a hyena and a wild dog!
Hey!
Are all you grassland photographers so fierce!
Shoot right in the face?
All right.
Ye Yunian finally knew how the documentary was shot when he was still a human.
It turns out that the photographers worked very hard to shoot it.
It's really not easy for everyone!
Ye Yunian marveled.
However, it is precisely because of these two lights that the situation on the grassland can be seen more clearly at this time.
Although the hyena group is outnumbered, the African wild dogs will not admit defeat and will sneak up on them from time to time.
As long as they find that the hyenas want to move the prey, they will attack together in groups of three or two.
After repeating this several times, the hyena queen suddenly realized that this was not a solution.
Either they give up the prey and leave, or they will fight with the African wild dogs.
As for whether to fight or leave?
The hyena queen will of course choose to fight!
They are grassland bandits who are fearless, so how could they be afraid of a group of small wild dogs like you?
So, the battle started directly.
Ye Yunian was stunned.
Why did the fight suddenly become so fierce?
The three photographers who were filming obviously did not expect this to happen.
In order not to be affected by the war between the two sides, they could only retreat a distance in a wolf-like manner.
Although they were far away, they still had a telephoto lens.
The photographer was not panicked at all...
Hey?
Wait!
When did the two leopards appear over there? It
was only then that the photographers noticed Ye Yunian and Qin Die Bao who had been lurking in the bushes.
In fact, if it weren't for the reflection of the light, the photographers estimated that they would not be able to find Ye Yunian and Qin Die Bao until they left.
Unfortunately, Ye Yunian and Qin Die Bao's eyes, like flashlights, betrayed their position.
Seeing the photographer looking in their direction, Qin Die Bao frowned immediately, and was about to signal Ye Yunian to leave with him.
Suddenly, Ye Yunian was seen crawling forward for a distance.
Eh?
What is he doing?
Qin Die Bao was a little confused.
Their position had been exposed, but the wild dogs and hyenas were fighting fiercely at this time, and they had no time to pay attention to them for the time being.
When the melee between the two sides ends, they might be affected...
The leopard father was about to speak out to stop Ye Yunian, but Ye Yunian rushed out in a flash -
the melee between the hyenas and wild dogs was particularly fierce, and the prey antelope was naturally left aside by them.
As the saying goes, when the snipe and the clams quarrel, the fisherman benefits; when the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind!
Ye Yunian is here to be the fisherman and the oriole today!
He seized the opportunity and rushed to the center of the battle between the two sides. Then, while neither side had reacted yet, he quickly picked up the antelope and called out to the leopard father loudly -
"Meow, woo, woo~"
Dad!
Save the cub!
Then we run together!
Leopard father: !!!
The father leopard's eyes were as big as bells.
But his body had already moved ahead of his brain. He rushed forward quickly and took the antelope meat from the cub's mouth.
Then the two leopards turned and ran away. They were so fast that they didn't even give the wild dogs and hyenas who were still fighting fiercely a chance to react.
And not only them, but also the photographer who was filming nearby was dumbfounded.
"...My God, did I see it right just now? Two leopards robbed the food of hyenas and wild dogs?"
After a long time, his companion replied: "You didn't see it wrong, that's what happened..."
The two leopards ran too fast.
Before the three parties could react, they had already run a long distance.
When the hyenas and wild dogs realized that the scent of the prey was getting farther and farther away, they wanted to chase it, but when they turned around, they found that the enemy had also caught up with them.
Hyenas: "Woof woof woof--"
Wild dogs: "Woof woof aaaa woof woof woof!"
Their voices were very fierce.
Their tempers were also very bad.
Both sides wanted to chase the prey themselves, not the other side.
So after only a few steps, the two sides actually wrestled with each other again.
The three photographers were amazed.
At the same time, they couldn't help but sigh: "Oh my God, if they still want to fight now, then their prey will really be gone!"
"The leopards are running too fast, my camera can't catch up!"
"So who are these two leopards? I remember that the only leopard living nearby seems to be Andrew."
"But isn't Andrew a male leopard? How could a male leopard have a sub-adult leopard next to him?"
The three photographers were very confused.
The wild dogs and hyenas who had just finished fighting were also puzzled.
Who can tell them what is going on now?
Didn't they fight for food?
Why did they lose the fight and still have no food!
The hyenas and African wild dogs were very angry.
Unfortunately, the two leopards ran too fast.
They didn't even leave any trace of them.
The African wild dogs were really angry.
They knew it was their food. If the hyenas hadn't suddenly come and interfered, they would have eaten it long ago!
Now, the food is gone, and several of their members are injured.
The African wild dogs are very angry.
When they get angry, they simply turn around and go towards the hyena pack.
But how can the hyena pack still have the mood to fight at this time?
They have no food, and this fight is meaningless.
They turned around and wanted to run.
But the angry wild dogs would never give them a chance to escape.
If it weren't for you, we would have had dinner a long time ago!
Following the order of the wild dog leader, the angry wild dogs launched another group attack.
This time, the ones being chased were the domineering hyenas on the grassland.
It was unjust!
The hyena pack had no words to explain this time.
They were chased for a long distance by the angry wild dogs.
They had never suffered such an injustice!
Those two leopards had better pray that they don't run into them again!
